I think it's supposed to be "Give me your face!".

*checks her Japanese dictionary*

omae = you (male familiar)
no = possessive particle
kao = face
o = object particle
kuru = to gouge; to hollow out; to bore; to excavate; to scoop out

It's analogous to our "Give me your face", but it actually means "I'll gouge your face".

TFWiki.net is known and notorious for being witty down to downright insulting, with both their text and their captions. Speaking of which, they made an oversight with the Rartorata entry:

Rartorata in katakana: ラートラータ
Kamen Rider OOO's Latoratar combo: ラトラーター

NOT the same, so the joke fails :P

They are noobs. And just like translations they can't get the picture translations right either.
